Who We Are
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with SCI and their families by providing advocacy, resources, peer mentorship and financial assistance. We strive to empower individuals by providing support and knowledge. The organization was born out of necessity, but we have become family.
What We Do
The Syracuse Spinal Association (SSA) is a 501C3, nonprofit organization that offers a variety of support including information & education, peer connections, health & wellness, support meetings, social gatherings and Quality of Life Grants for individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The grants will be used for things such as durable medical equipment, home modifications such as ramps and accessibility modifications, and other supplies that will not be covered by insurance. Trained through the Dana and Christopher Reeve foundation as Peer Mentors, our volunteers partner with Upstate Medical University to provide information and support to newly injured Spinal Cord patients.
